Dawlat Zadran

Dawlat Zadran Biography

Dawlat Zadran is among the leading fast-bowlers in the Afghanistan line-up, and usually opens the bowling for his side. The medium-pacer, who hails from Khost in eastern Afghanistan, is one of the more experienced Afghan players in the side.

Dawlat is one of the two fast-bowling Zadrans (the other being Shapoor), and is one of the leading wicket-takers for Afghanistan in ODIs with 32 scalps. His career-best performance of three for 36 came against Hong Kong during the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Premier League held in 2014.

Another memorable moment for him was his cameo of 24 not out off only seven balls, which helped Afghanistan clinch a thriller of a victory against Zimbabwe in July 2014. Dawlat remains an integral part of Afghan cricket, and is expected to shepherd the younger members of the Afghan pace attack in times to come.
